Hi,
This vehicle doesn't have a traditional crankshaft position sensor. It has an optic sensor (pick-up coil) in the distributor. I attached the directions below for replacing it.
If this is the problem, there will be no spark at the spark plugs. Confirm that if you haven't.
Here is a link that shows how to check:

If there is spark, see if it starts if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, the problem is fuel-related, not ignition.
Let me know what you find or if you have questions.
Take care,
Joe
